March 25, 201214 yr Does anyone remember the quite promising screenshots (amazing VC shots) back in 2007 of the group called Xsimulate?The developers always kept hopes high, meanwhile their website and forum alltogether vanished from the www.I was so looking forward to a properly modelled DC-10 for FS9 (and/or FSX).Any thoughts?Bummer...

March 26, 201214 yr Is a real shame indeed!They allready had made great progress seen on the dev pics they posted.I wonder what happened with the model and the work they allready completed.Think it should have been handed over to a still working dev group,so all the work doesn't go wasted.It would have been a great release and definatly on my buy-list!Hope someone will fill in the need for a DC-10 in the future (and for FS9 off course).Regards,Steven Steven Ghion Belgian Virtual Tigers
March 26, 201214 yr The models (VC and exterior) are with their respective creators.But from what I've been told there have been so many advances in modeling techniques that modelis already outdated, and should such a product resurface again a new model would be made.That being the case its likelyhood for FS9 is even less so now.Regards.Ernie.
March 26, 201214 yr It seems that this bird has a trouble history from real life into FS :( Hoang Le i7 13700k - Sapphire Nitro+ AMD RX 7900 XT - Asus TUF Z790 PLUS D4 - Gskill Trident 32GB DDR4-3600 LG 34GP63A-B Ultrawide - ASUS VG259QM MSFS2020
March 26, 201214 yr For those desiring an FS9 DC10 who haven't tried it, I highly recommend the SGA DC10-30, which is available in more than a dozen liveries. I have no idea how accurate the flight model is, since I've never actually piloted anything bigger than a Cessna 172 (and even that was for around only twenty minutes), but it's fun to fly, and it has about the range the real thing had. I also found a decent DC10 panel that works fine with it, and since then the venerable DC10 has been one of my favorite heavy airliners to fly.
March 28, 201214 yr Author Thanks to all for your replies. I do own the CLS DC-10 and have the SGA DC-10 too, they are not bad, after using them a long time, I was missing a bit more systems depth and a better VC, the one from CLS looks quite dated, and Xsimulate's simply looked fantastic.

July 4, 201213 yr I also found a decent DC10 panel that works fine with it, and since then the venerable DC10 has been one of my favorite heavy airliners to fly. Which panel? I've been always interested in flying a DC-10, but the lack of a good panel (Ruth/Cantu DC-10 is FSX only AFAIK) has prevented me from doing so.

July 4, 201213 yr Which panel? I've been always interested in flying a DC-10, but the lack of a good panel (Ruth/Cantu DC-10 is FSX only AFAIK) has prevented me from doing so. Best regards from Colombia, Luis Miguel The one I'm using is here at Avsim: http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004pan&DLID=102420 The only thing it didn't have that I wanted was any kind of elevator pitch indicator, but I have FSPanel so adding one of those was a snap. The panel isn't very fancy, but does contain all the instrumentation I need to have a ball flying those venerable old DC10s.
July 4, 201213 yr Commercial Member That is a shame, FS is really lacking a highly detailed DC10 :( a remake of the RFP 747 classic and a good DC10 with full system modelling has been on my wish list for a a long time now. Rob Prest
